Air France - KLM Virtual Group Presents
Destination Saturdays Vol 18: Melbourne
YPPH - 261700ZMAY18
Event Description
We started in the City of Lights. Then off to the Netherlands, the home of Big Ben, and the land of the Irish. Our hop down to the Portuguese coastal city of Lisbon was followed by harrowing approaches in Madeira and Gibraltar. We visited the international “jet set” in Monaco, the mountainous town Innsbruck, the Italian isle of Sicily, and the land of the pharaohs, all before making our way across the Middle East on our way to the Taj Mahal. From Asia’s “Sin City,” and the world-class Singapore, we made our way Down Under, across the Indian Ocean to Perth. And now, our journey continues! The 18th leg of Destination Saturdays finds us on the Western Coast of Australia, primed to begin our circuit across Oceania. Next step: Melbourne! Jet off with us as we fly the skies above the Australian Outback, and enjoy a stunning approach into the coastal capital of the south-eastern state of Victoria.
Air France – KLM Virtual cordially invites you to experience Destination Saturdays, our signature event series dedicated to traversing the most iconic destinations, beautiful airports, and challenging approaches across the globe. Some describe it as career mode for the world traveller at heart, while others say we’ve set out to finish what Amelia Earhart started. However, you look at it, Destination Saturdays is sure to deliver fun times flying with friends (old and new). Be part of the journey every other week as we pick up where we last left off!
